EP59: Mark Asquith - Excellence Expected

Our latest Inspired Edinburgh guest is Mark Asquith

Mark is a serial entrepreneur, international keynote speaker, UK’s number one business podcaster, and a millennial influencer.

Since quitting his real job in 2005, he's gone on to found award winning global design agency Hacksaw, media company and podcast Excellence Expected, with guests such as Chris Ducker, Amy Landino, Guy Kawasaki, Rand Fishkin and John Lee Dumas; with whom he also co-founded website design business, Podcast Websites.

Mark has cultivated a personal brand that has created an audience of worldwide fans and he speaks across the world at tech, business and media events, particularly in the United States.

He has a straight talking, no bullshit style, he spends all of his speaking fees on hot dogs and beard products, and he once heckled Rick Astley enough to upset him!
